OG-EVKIN CF-027

New Gravel frame, is not bad, but the price is not cheap.
Did anyone buy it?
Opinions?

1,8kg... Quite heavy, isn't it?

That's about the same price as I got quoted for a Carbonda 696 after they nickel and dime you for all the small parts, so not crazy expensive. But it is a new untested frame, so that's the risky part.

1200 frame + 450 fork + 200 seatpost

1850 is the total weight

I bought my hardtail frame from OG-Evkin... Looking back I think they advised the wrong size and I should have gone a size smaller, so please do your own research.

The CF-052 frame also seemed to be a rebranded frame you could find from other sellers (tantan FM699), so maybe that is also the case here?

I must say the frame itself was very nice and the paint flawless... Although I would rather go with an unbranded frame if I had the choice...

I asked them why there is such a difference in cost to their other frames, they said its due to the EPS construction technique which means the frame is moulded with a foam insert so the inside is smooth with no vacuum bag film creases. Its still a 2 piece bonded design though.

In theory this results in a stronger, lighter frame due to less excess resin inside the tubes.

I have the MTB frame CF-054, it's nice frame, but the new gravel frame CF-027 I have not seen from other sellers
